>Hubbard's son Nibs said that Aleister Crowley was his father's most important source of inspiration, and scholar Hugh Urban has written extensively about the occult roots of Scientology.[262] Nibs Hubbard said in an interview in 1983:[263]

>What a lot of people don't realize is that Scientology is black magic that is just spread out over a long time period. To perform black magic generally takes a few hours or, at most, a few weeks. But in Scientology it's stretched out over a lifetime, and so you don't see it.

Makes so much sense. Never considered it before until I learned the Crowley/Hubbard link. Sorry America, a degen esoteric occult Victorian Brit heroin addict is sadly responsible for Scientology.
